Strange stuff from the gambling world

An enterprising online wagering site, bookmaker.com, has issued the following odds on, of all things, the length of the marriage between Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian.

Does it really get any better than that?

The website says that "with the usual fleeting trend of Hollywood marriages, one can assume it won't be long before we heard divorce bells.''

So with that, they have set the favorite odds that the marriage will last one to five months. You can get $120 for every $100 wagered on that proposition.

One to three weeks is $165 for $100; 6-11 months is $200 for $100 and one to two years is $300 for $100. If it goes over two years, you get $400 for $100, assuming you still have the ticket in hand 24 months from now.
